EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Statue of Emperor Augustus, also known as Augustus of Prima Porta. Crafted from marble during the Roman Art period in the eighth century BC, this masterpiece can be found in the New Wing of the Vatican Museums in Vatican City. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 and beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical artifact. The statue depicts Emperor Augustus adorned in body armor, symbolizing his role as a powerful military leader. It is a testament to both his political influence and social status within Roman society. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where empires were built and ancient civilizations thrived. The sculpture's impeccable craftsmanship highlights not only the skill of its creator but also serves as a reminder of Rome's rich history. In addition to its historical significance, this photograph offers us glimpses into various aspects of life during that time period. We see a child depicted alongside Emperor Augustus, emphasizing family values and perhaps hinting at his desire for succession. The drapery adorning his figure adds an element of elegance while accentuating the human form beneath. Through this remarkable artwork, we gain insight into politics and power dynamics prevalent during ancient times. Emperor Augustus' reign marked a pivotal moment in Roman history when he transformed Rome from a republic into an empire. Overall, Brogi's photograph allows us to appreciate not just the artistic beauty but also provides valuable insights into one of history's most influential figures - Emperor Augustus - forever immortalized through artistry and preserved for generations to come within Vatican City's esteemed museums.
